RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02724
INDEX NUMBER: 135.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he may reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His separation was due to academic reasons and not conduct. Two other
individuals failed their Career Development Courses (CDCs) with lower
scores than he and they were allowed a waiver. As a result of his low CDC
test scores, he started not to care anymore. He received an honorable
discharge and desires to reenter the Air Force.
In support of the appeal, he submits his personal statement and a letter of
recommendation.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 May 2000, for a
period of six years.
On 13 December 2001, the applicant was notified that his commander was
recommending that he be discharged from the Air Force for unsatisfactory
performance. The reason for this action was because he failed his CDC on
20 June and 5 October 2001, scoring 64%, and 61% -- the minimum passing
score was 65%. The discharge authority approved the separation and ordered
an honorable discharge, without probation and rehabilitation.
On 14 January 2002, he was honorably discharged under the provisions of AFI
36-3208 (Unsatisfactory Performance), and was issued an RE code of 3A
(First-term airman who separates before completing 60 months on a 6-year
enlistment and who has no known disqualifying factors or ineligibility
conditions, except grade, skill level, and insufficient Total Active
Federal Military Service). He completed 1 year, 7 months, and 28 days of
active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. AFPC/DPPRS states, in
part, that based upon the documentation in the file, they believe the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements
of the discharge regulation at that time. Additionally, the discharge was
within the sound discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did
not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing.
The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 7 November 2003 for review and response. However, as of this date, this
office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice concerning the applicant’s RE code. The
applicant has provided no evidence showing that his assigned RE code is in
error or contrary to the prevailing instruction. It is clear that the
decision to separate the applicant was proper based on his situation at the
time. The RE code which was issued at the time of the applicant’s
discharge accurately reflects the circumstances of his separation, i.e., a
first-term airman separated before completing 60 months on a 6-year
enlistment and who had no known disqualifying factors or ineligibility
conditions, except grade, skill level, and insufficient Total Active
Federal Military Service. Accordingly, we do not find this code to be in
error or unjust. We therefore conclude that no basis exists upon which to
recommend favorable action on his request that it be changed.
4. Additionally, we note that the applicant’s assigned RE code of 3A is a
code that can be waived for prior service enlistment consideration,
provided he meets all other requirements for enlistment under an existing
prior service program. Whether or not he is successful will depend on the
needs of the service.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was
denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not
considered with this application.

She served 2 years, 2 months and 13 days of active service. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service” is correct. However, after reviewing the applicant’s records, the Board believes the narrative reason for separation and her current RE code are somewhat harsh.

For this misconduct, he received a Record of Counseling dated 4 June 1988. On 8 September 1989, after consulting with counsel, applicant waived his right to submit a statement. A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit D. HQ AFPC/DPPAE states the applicant received a reenlistment eligibility code of "2C," indicating the member was involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge, or entry-level separation without characterization, which is correct.
